About Me

I was a reporter and columnist for 40 years for a chain of newspapers in the suburbs of Chicago. I'm a military veteran having served in the United States Army Combat Engineers (Cpl. E-4) and a Korean War veteran with an Honorable Discharge from the Armed Forces of the United States of America

During the memorial ceremony at Ft. Hood, Texas Tuesday, a group of morons stood outside of a church near the entrance to the Army post and held up signs saying they were happy that U.S. soldiers had been killed.Their stupid demonstration didn't last long because members of the Patriot Guard motorcycle club showed up and within seconds the demonstrators ran like scared rabbits to their vans and took off.In this video you see the Patriot Guard attending a memorial called "The Last Ride" for a fallen U.S. soldier.We felt it was important to show what the Patriot Guard does for our fallen heroes on Veterans Day.WATCH VIDEO HERE:http://www.youtube.com/v/d8iazRLAcBM&hl=en&fs=1CLICK ON DIAMOND-SHAPED ARROW TO PLAY THIS VIDEO

Veterans Day is tomorrow and we thought it would only be appropriate to share some videos which are a tribute to our brave young men and women serving in the Armed Forces.In this video, Ella, a kindergarten student, performs a song for her Grandpa Stan who is in the military.WATCH VIDEO HERE:http://www.youtube.com/v/ERU2YP_Chns&hl=en&fs=1CLICK ON DIAMOND-SHAPED ARROW TO PLAY THIS VIDEO

An average group of Americans gathered to publicly thank their United Stated Military for the freedom they provide. If you want to thank your military, pass this video on to every person you know so it will eventually reach every present and former military person across the globe. We want the military to know we appreciate their service and sacrifice!

With Veterans Day just one day away and President Obama planning on deploying at least 40,000 more troops to Afghanistan, we thought this video salute to our armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan would be a fitting tribute.The video is SSgt. Barry Saddler singing: "Ballad of the Green Berets."TURN UP YOUR SOUNDWATCH VIDEO HERE:http://www.youtube.com/v/LH4-tOqLH94&hl=en&fs=1CLICK ON DIAMOND-SHAPED ARROW TO PLAY VIDEO
